NovelEnglishChapter 341: Kellans gaze lingered on the mask for a moment.
Escorting you hsafely is the least I can do to put my mind at ease.
The area bustled with people coming and going.
Allisons lips curled into a smile.
Mr.
Lloyd, if you have the patience, you can wait and see.
Im nothing if not patient, Kellan replied, his voice as calm as a mountain breeze, carrying the faint scent of bamboo.
You should know that by now.
Allison had no response for that.
Kellan had a way of being incredibly bold, completely unflinching.
But right now, she didnt want to dwell on it.
It reminded her of the tin the lounge when Kellan had interlocked his fingers with hers, seductively coaxing her to say his name, Kellan, repeatedly.
It had started as a gbetween them, a challenge meant to test their limits.
But when she said his name, it seemed to catch him off guard his usual self-control fraying at the edges, leaving him almost vulnerable.

But playing with fire, as she had learned that day, almost always leads to burns.
Her flimsy fishtail dress was so ripped that it was practically hanging off Kellans arm, swaying in the wind.
As a result, neither of them could gain an upper hand over the other.
Allisons face remained as calm as ever, masking the tempest that lurked beneath the surface, even though she was tumultuous within.
I should go.
See you later.
See you later.
As Allison walked toward the banquet hall, Kellan watched her retreating figure, his expression unreadable, lost in thought.
In fact, he wasnt just curious about her anymore; he was fond of her.
He had to admit that Allison was like no one hed ever encountered before.
Every gesture, every glance, felt like a calculated seduction, luring him in, yet she always managed to maintain the upper hand.
There was a veil of mystery between them, intangible and elusive.
So many secrets hidden beneath the surface, and he knew it.
Allison had her own life, her own concerns, and it was clear that she wasnt meant to wade through the treacherous waters of the Lloyd family.
The dangers, both seen and unseen, were not hers to bear.
Besides, she wasnt lacking in admirers.
Not in a hurry to leave, Kellans gaze shifted casually toward a nearby corner.
His voice suddenly grew sharp.
You can cout now.
After a pause, a figure stepped from behind the wall.
Well, arent you the sharp one? Ferdinand, far from embarrassed at being caught, shrugged with an easy grin.
I was just waiting for you.
A few clients are still waiting for your signature, but since Ms.
Clarke was here, I figured Id give you two sspace.
He sighed, his voice adopting a teasing tone.
Though, to be honest, it looks like Ms.
Clarke might be out of your league.
Im not sure you can handle her.
Kellan shot him a sideways glance, his tone cold as ice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead of worrying about me, maybe you should focus on Miss Green.
Shes the only child of her parents, and they insist that her future husband marry her.
Into the Green family? Can you accept that? Ferdinand teased, his tone light but with a hint of challenge.
Besides, theres a line of suitors stretching all the way back to Vespera.
Marriage? Not my thing.
I enjoy being single, Kellan replied casually.
Really? But I heard the jewelry you gave Rebecca wasnt just anyo m trinketits worth & small fortune and Enr seems to carry a lot of meaning. It was just a gift, nothing more.
Youre not exactly known for your generosity, Ferdinand remarked, a little taken aback.
Kellans sharp tongue silenced him, and Ferdinand found himself at a loss for words.
The truth was, he wasnt entirely sure how he felt about Rebecca.
Every interaction with her felt like a whirlwind, yet somehow he didn't mind being swept up in it.
With a sly smile, Kellan patted Ferdinand on the shoulder, a om mischievous gleam in his dark eyes. Maybe instead of worrying about my business, you should focus on getting yourself hitched.
With that, Kellan walked toward the banquet hall, leaving Ferdinand standing there, rattled.
Damn.
Twice in a row, Kellans words had stung.
Ferdinand exhaled deeply, wondering if maybe it was just his luck.
How was it possible that there wasnt a single decent option out there for him? .
